Click the "Upload" button (looks like an arrow) to verify and put the code onto the Arduino.

The "Upload" button verifies, compiles and uploads your code. If you just want to verify your code, click the "Verify" button.

The RX and TX lights on your Arduino will flash whilst the code is being uploaded to the board. After which, the onboard LED on pin 13 will continue to stay on for one second and turn off for one second.

Our Arduino Unos actually already come with the Blink Sketch pre-installed in the factory, so why don't we go an make some changes to the sketch so we can see a difference!
